Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0015623A1] 5,5'-diformyl-2,2'-difuran is prepared in excellent yield by photochemically irradiating furfural or a mixture of furfural and 5-bromo-2-furfural. In the latter case an acid scavenger is present. The solvent is acetonitrile. The process may be carried out continuously, the 5-bromo-2-furfural acting as a catalyst, the furfural being added, and the product being harvested continuously.
